Queen of Mean Leona Helmsley may wind up getting her just “desserts” after she was filmed having a fancy dinner on a day she claimed to be too sick to be deposed.

Helmsley, 81, who is being sued by a former employee for allegedly breaching a confidentiality agreement, was spotted having a Friday-evening dinner at Avra, a Greek restaurant on East 48th Street, after she skipped a deposition in a $10 million suit filed by Patrick Ward, the former chief operating officer of the Helmsley empire.

The night before the deposition was to be held, Helmsley filed an emergency application seeking a hearing on the state of her health, claiming she was unable to provide answers to complex questions.

In the video taped by a private eye for Ward’s lawyer Helmsley is seen carrying her dog, walking without assistance, and pushing her way through a revolving door.

Helmsley spokesman Howard Rubenstein said Helmsley’s condition was “private,” but it doesn’t prevent the hotel magnate who doesn’t cook, he added from taking nourishment.

“She had a quiet dinner with her brother and her dog,” Rubenstein said.

Moreo said Helmsley, who spent 21 months in prison on tax-evasion charges, appeared frail and had passed out at the restaurant several weeks ago.

Ward, 45, is a former optometrist who was made COO of the Helmsley empire after he was touted as the aged empress’ love interest. He was fired after Helmsley learned he was gay.
